Personal vacation home in Florence, Italy. Providing trip / travel information & group tour referrals under contract with licensed US & Italian operators.
American family living in Florence 6 years. We've hosted and helped more than 100 people to enjoy their experience in Florence and with the beautiful Italian culture.
LARGE GROUP OR SMALL.
Very large apartment (by Italian standards) - 1500 square feet. 4 large rooms, 2 bathrooms. Large kitchen, balcony, large living room (common space). Accommodates large groups- up to 12 persons, families and large groups, or small groups (individual rooms available).
"EXTREMELY CONVENIENT". Our guests have said: "wow, it was so easy to get here", "what a great location", "finding your home was extremely convenient". Home is a few minutes from the Centro, Doumo, Train Station, Fiesole. Close enough to get there fast, far enough away to avoid the crowds and high prices. From SMN (train station) take the 1 bus to "piazza de Le Cure" and here you are!!! Cab is less than 5 minutes - 12 euro.
GREAT LOCATION. Florence is central to Modena, Bologna, Verona, Venice, Cinque Terra, Rome - all great day-trips from Florence.
BREAKFAST & BICYCLES!
Prepare your own meals or enjoy European breakfasts at cafes nearby. Personal bicycles are available upon request. Cycling through Florence is a fast, fit and convenient way to see many sights.
PREFERRED AREA.
A 'preferred' area among Florentines with a friendly neighborhood feel. Daily fruit and vegetable markets 300 feet from the house - pharmacy, fantastic restaurants, outdoor parks - all of your daily conveniences close by. Wonderful parks in the area, and one of the best Gellaterias (owner makes +50 flavors by hand daily) - right across the street. Gellatto and dining at local (not tourist) prices.
20mb HIGH SPEED INTERNET & CATV.
There is common space to relax, 2 bathrooms, 4 separate rooms, CATV, 20 MBPS high speed internet (WI-FI) and an open kitchen to prepare meals before your day in the city. Comfortable for a couple or family - short or long-term stays.
